The correct answer is C. Focused on increasing the purchasing power and financial recovery of Americans through government intervention.
The Second New Deal, initiated by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in the latter half of the 1930s, aimed to provide relief for the unemployed and poor, promote economic recovery, and implement reforms to prevent future depressions. It introduced various programs and policies that sought to boost the economy and support struggling Americans, emphasizing the government’s role in economic recovery. Options A and D are incorrect because the Second New Deal occurred during FDR’s presidency and the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps) was part of the First New Deal. Option B is also incorrect, as the Second New Deal was more focused on active government intervention rather than fiscal conservatism.
